Tulsi Vivah

The wedding of tulsi and Krishna.

Meaning

Tulsi Vivah is the symbolic wedding of the tulsi plant (Devi Vrinda) to Lord Vishnu / Krishna. It marks the beginning of the wedding season in many Hindu communities.

History

The ritual dates back centuries and blends deep devotion with the joy of a real family wedding.

Why We Celebrate

We celebrate to bring wedding joy into our home even when there's no wedding — and to remember that tulsi is not a plant, she is a member of the family.

How Konkani Families Celebrate

Konkani families decorate the tulsi vrindavan like a bride, offer sugarcane and sweets, and gather at dusk for a small ceremony.
